We know what to eat. We know what is good for us. But eating certain foods together can benefit us that much more. Here are a few foods that compliment each other when eaten together.
- Broccoli and mustard. After cooking vegetables they lose a bit of their nutrients. Next time you cook broccoli add some mustard to it! The mustard contains an enzyme that is destroyed during the cooking process.
- Turmeric and salmon. My mom always told me to season things with turmeric due to its many health benefits, but now I know what to pair it with…salmon!
- Grilled steak and brussels sprouts.
- Tomato and olive oil or tomato and avocado. Does not seem too crazy or odd, but may help your body absorb more lycopene. Lycopene (found in tomatoes and other red foods, think grapefruit and guava) protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
- Beans and greens (or any food high in vitamin C like spinach and oranges) – for better iron absorption.
